MP3•Episode home

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a real and honest breakdown of what’s been happening inside my property and development businesses over the last few months. It’s been a challenging period across the market - tight lending, uncertainty surrounding the Renters’ Rights Act, contractor issues, slower rental demand, and some big, strategic decisions to make. Instead of giving you the polished version, I’m taking you behind the scenes and talking openly about what’s working, what’s not, and how I’m navigating it all.

I’ll walk you through the performance of my student HMO portfolio, the reality of refinancing a major development right now, why some of our projects have slowed, and how I’m approaching long-term planning for both my properties and my training business. I’ll also share some personal reflections on balancing work, family life, and staying focused through a tough market.

🎯 What You’ll Learn

How I fully let my student HMO portfolio early with a focus on renewals and rapid response
Why the Renters’ Rights Act is changing how I plan refurb cycles and future-proof my assets
The wins and frustrations behind our 24-unit development - from awards to difficult refinancing
How a contractor’s illness has forced a rethink on one of our major schemes
Why my trading business is key to long-term growth, plus what’s coming next
The off-market opportunities appearing right now and why it’s still a great time to buy

If you’re finding the current market tough, this episode will remind you you’re not alone. It’s practical, honest, and full of lessons from someone living it day to day.
